I love when title of the video matches perfectly with the content, no unnecessary talking, no clickbaiting, just straight to the point. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you very much for the positive comment. While clickbait is very effective for getting people to watch videos, I'm trying to avoid misleading titles of any sort.
I really like an honest review which isnt tainted by brand loyalty. Thank you! And as always keep up the good work!
you just cant beat it. the thing i hate most is all the unnecessary talking in most yt vids but these videos never have any of that.
We definitely appreciate you avoiding misleading titles. Thank you.
I'm going to down vote this video, I was expecting to be click baited but I was disappointed that the video was short, sweet and simple with nothing but honesty. Thank you.
By far my favorite youtuber
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Huh??, ima telling Chris Fix what u just said.
Dude! The Project Farm videos are the best that I've found on TH-cam for testing these types of products. You use a scientific approach and demonstrate your work. You really put a lot of effort into the tests. Good job and keep up the good work. Thanks.
Thank you very much!
I work at an Auto Parts store and I use your videos as a reference everyday as to why and what additives (or anything else you’ve tested) people should use depending on their issue. I’ve always been a firm believer in sea foam or MMO, but it’s nice to have actual proof that it works. So thank you, it keeps me coming back every video!
Thank you very much for the positive comment! I'm glad the videos are helping people make good buying decisions. Thanks again!
Hey Joe I was once a Autozoner before I became a ASE AUTO TECHNICIAN & your right about helping your customers with additives that help with their issues 👍
I'm pretty sure I've watched all your videos twice or more, you are a credit to youtube as well as the everyday consumer.
Thank you
Thank you very much!
Do whatever you feel like! your logic, personality, presentation and your consideration of your audience is unmatched!
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
agreed!

I LOVE how far your channel has come since these older videos! Always straight to the point and super informative!
Thanks so much!
@@ProjectFarm
Appreciate your efforts ...Did you apply before STP 5x1 ?
Thx advanced
Thank you for getting straight to the point. Watched quite a few of these vids trying to decide which cleaner to use and this was the best one yet. No unnecessary commentary and didn't take 20 minutes to get to the end result. Thumbs up!
Thank you!
Your neighbors must think you are crazy for mowing your lawn so much :D
LOL! Yes, they want me to mow their lawn. Thanks
THAT's the way it works, all right!
+Project Farm
Have them pay you by filming!
You must have the best yard off them all. lol
I had the exact same thought lol
Testing out different tools, engines, generators and cordless tools would be an awesome thing to do! So far everything that I''ve seen has been good, so keep up the good work!
Thank you for this recommendation.
You predicted the future of his channel lol
Just a note to say how much I appreciate your work, I rewatch often… back to Farm school.
Thank you.
Thanks so much!
I am a retired auto technician of 44 years on the job and have used many chemicals through out my career with so many different results. I like the Seafoam and it is priced right and does a good job. The BG K44 does an excellent job of cleaning the fuel injectors and oxygen sensors, and these results are proven on our high end equipment. In automotive we do not have a problem with carbon build up like the old days.
You have very interesting test and I really enjoy your site. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
I love watching channels like this grow, great job on the videos my friend. keep em coming
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
BG makes some great products. They also make a upper intake cleaner that drips in through a vacuum port.
Love your videos!
I saw your BG 44K review after I had already tested it myself and liked the results for my lemon lawnmower situation. I really enjoy your reviews!
Thanks!
I’ve used 44k for 30 years or so and it’s very good at clearing up fuel systems that have sat a long time. It might take a couple of weeks depending on how dirty the system is but it works wonderfully!
Thanks for sharing.
Does this work well on TSI/FSI type VW engines? :)
@@ShahabSheikhzadeh engines are metal and explosions.
It doesn't matter who makes them.
There are only different additives for gasoline and diesel.
How do you use it?
@@ParissaKhoury
Just put it in the gas ⛽️ tank and drive normally. Fantastic products!
Thanks for the new content! I like the small engine platform you've created: but it would be refreshing to see other aspects occasionally. like improvised spark plugs, liquids in the crank case that will cause catastrophic failure- or other abnormalities. Just my opinion though, I enjoy most everything you put out
Thank you very much for the positive comment and for the recommendations!
I have never herd of bg 44k until this video. Thank you for doing a review on it.
Thanks for commenting.
Just came across this old video. Man, you come a long way. Your videos are always entertaining and educational but man the quality is gotten a lot better over the years. Keep it up man
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for the hard work you do for all. I truly trust your input and buy stuff accordingly. I was always big on Consumer Report and since you showed up, it's only you!
You are welcome!
BG 44k in my experience works amazingly concerning dirty carbs, it has a great ability to clean jets and needle seats from ethanol corrosion and damage. I’ve poured a whole can into 1/2 a tank of gas in a Honda CB that had clogged pilot jets and later that day it would idle on its own with no other carb adjustments.
Look at how far you’ve come from doing these tests!
Thank you!
Your work from 4 years ago is just as useful today. Nice . Thx .
You are welcome! Glad to hear!
I hadn't gone back to an older PF video in a while. Interesting how your style and energy level has evolved (for the better, just to be clear!).
Thanks!
I would LOVE to see a diesel treatment test between Lucas, BG's, Howe's, and Diesel Kleen! I drive a diesel and am curious which one is best. you never cease to amaze with any of your videos and I absolutely love the fact you're not sponsored! keep it up man and I look forward to more videos!
Thank you for the video idea!
I have used MMO in my old cars that I have had over the years because of their not so perfect engines. 50 ford Flathead, 55 Buick, 66 Falcon 6 and 52 Cadillac. They helped to keep the combustion chambers clean and helped me from getting valve seat recession from lack of lead in the gas. I didn't think it would be necessary on my modern Mazda skyactive. I tried it and drove the same 50 miles to work I always drive which is country and city driving. The week without was 36 MPG on the cars computer. The week after I started using it it started averaging 38.2 as listed on the engine computer. The engine was also remarkably smoother after that two week test. I mixed it 6 ounces for the 15 gallon tank. MMO works great!
MMO is a great product. Thanks for commenting.
Well I sprained my ankle a couple days ago so I've been binge-watching all your old videos that I hadn't watched and even rewatching some of the ones that I've already seen. The old videos are good but you have also come a really long way. Love the way the channel is going I think I've seen at least 95% of your videos at this point.
What I would like to see is kind of a tour of the shop. I think this would be great too because it would give people more ideas of what videos to suggest. The equipment is just cool sometimes too
Thanks for watching! Thanks for the suggestion.
Just wanted to say that I love your videos! Keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you very much!
You sir make some awesome content every time you make a video me and the whole side my block put up a projector in the baseball field to watch you even though half the family's only understand Spanish. From old to young we people from Columbia support you 😀
Thank you very, very much for the positive comments. The thought of making content that others enjoy really keeps me motivated. Please say "thank you" on my behalf to all of those who watch the videos and best wishes. Sincerely, Project Farm
I love cocaine! God bless you and your country tony
Neighbors probably think he has a lawnmower fetish. Always outside often with different lawnmowers mowing over grass that was recently cut.
LOL! They want me to mow their lawn now. Thanks
Where do you get all the beaten up mowers?
I have been using BG-44K for over 32 years. My uncle used to own a gas station, in which I worked there. He sold BG-44K from a huge display rack. It worked great then, and it still works great today! Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you!
It's pretty obvious that it doesn't work and it is way overpriced as well.
I really appreciate when i find a new product i need objective information on and you have a video, because i know i don't need to keep searching for results after i've seen your review. Thanks!
Thank you!
I love your tests. Really interesting to see how the old ford ranger came around so well with seafoam and lucas. Would be nice to see how Duralube stacks up as they did a bunch of advertising like Slick 50 back in the day. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this recommendation.
I love the destructive run something till it breaks videos, but I love it when you take things like that apart afterward to show what exactly failed, then, i really love it when we get to see it "patched up" or backyard fixed liking with jb weld and stuff.
anyway thanks!
Awesome suggestions--this helps and thank you!
I have been a mechanic for years. I have used both for years I tend to keep the BG stuff for my Auto/diesel stuff, and the seafoam for mowers and smaller things. but yes they work. Thanks for another awesome video.
You are welcome!
Awesome and very educational videos as always, I went to my shop to work and ended up watching a dozen of your videos instead of working and it was time well spent, thank you.
Thank you very much!
Drop everything, Project Farm just uploaded!
LOL! Thank you for the positive comment!
Hell yeah,, thumbs up . These videos are awesome and very informative at least I think so good job keep up the sweet testing /experimenting
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
As pretty much what everyone else has said Todd your video are straight to the point.. I really enjoy watching them... they are very informative...
Much like a consumer reports magazine.. you make it very simple to understand..thanks
Thank you very much!
Project farm I found your channel 2 days ago and I am so hooked on your videos very informative and the way you show us how it's done and the before and after you are the man! Thanks for this great content new suscriber 👍
Thank you!
Whoa. Came for the bg 44k. Staying for the clear top engine. Awesome. Subscribed 🧨😎🍻
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I heard that running an engine on propane cleans off the top end of an engine, could you try that sometime? by the way GREAT VIDEOS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Propane/lpg burns cooler and leaves no hydrocarbon deposits. Since it runs cooler it really wouldn't clean well. But if an engine has always run on lpg it will be spotless.
Hello just started doing the work on my car myself and i love your videos. Thank you for keeping it real.
My pleasure!
Excellent video. Other producers can learn a lot from your no-nonsense approach. Thanks so much for your good work.
Thank you!
I understand that you'd like to branch out into other things, but I really enjoy your channel as someone who tests engines and chemicals. You're in a really cool little niche compared to all the people who just break tools and call it a productive channel. I don't really care which drill wins in a tug of war, I'll buy the best value I can for the money I have at the time. Your channel is really good for that since you test things that are priced similarly and you also go into all the detail you can about what variables were at play and what might have skewed results. That honesty is neat to see.
I wouldn't hate seeing some 2 stroke motor stuff here though, it fits your theme and I'm sure there's plenty of myths floating around that you could torture those poor engines with.
This is great advice that you've provided. Thank you!
You had the right idea running it through the intake. BG has a atomizer fitting that sprays into the throttle body, that connects to the pressurized cylinder that is also used to run the injector cleaner. When I use to service cars, I'd clean the throttle body, the run the 44k. Then after it set for about 15 minutes I'd use the injector cleaner. Always worked really good well and sometimes to the point of actually being able to tell a difference afterwards in the way it ran backed up by data readings. I don't know if the still make it, but GM use to have something called top engine cleaner and it worked pretty good as well. You ran it through the intake eventually stalling the engine and let it set for a while then restart.
Thank you!
My dad had a a 1977 two tone red/gray Murray lawn mower and the same push mower. Brings back childhood memeoires
Thanks for sharing.
Love the to the point videos bud. I pass your vids on to all my friends very interesting and educating too. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the positive comment and thanks for sharing the videos.
As a ASE auto tech I appreciate your unbiased tests..you must upset the brands that can't buy your endorsements
Hi there I’m from Israel and we are using BG44K directly as an Infusion to the fuel line near the injector rail
And it’s doing the job good enough because if you want seafoam you need to import it yourself
By the way your channel is my favourite you have good ideas and the science is very accurate
By far my favourite TH-camr
Thank you my friend for all the wonderful things that you are doing
You are welcome!
Thanks
anything you want to test is fine by me ! I always enjoy the videos . Keep up the good work and keep them coming !
Thank you very much!
I’m from the Philippines and we are using BG44K directly to the fuel injector without necessarily removing the throttle valve of the motorcycle with good results. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
Great Videos! I've spent way more time watching them than I would like to admit but at least I feel just a little bit smarter after every one of them! I know you get tons of suggestions on videos but one I would like to see is Seafoam vs. some of its cheaper "generic" versions such as SuperTech motor treatment, Harvest King motor treatment, etc. Just looking at sticker price Seafoam seems to range from $7-$12 per can and some of the other alternatives that are sitting on the shelf next to it at Walmart or wherever are usually around $5 for the same size bottle that looks similar but with a different logo. Is it the same stuff but re-branded? or is it less effective than the expensive stuff? Would like to hear your thoughts but most of all, keep up the great work!
Thank you!
This is a great program, thank you! Long time ago I had many problems with my outboard boat engine, a very seasoned individual told me to use seafoam very liberally, and then soak my pistons with deep creep, which has now become seafoam spray,, my engine went from zero to hero, But I removed the spark plugs and soaked the Pistons and let that sit for three days, from that point on my engine started every time with the first turn of the key… Initial start up the engine smoked for nearly a half an hour… And I mean heavy
Impressive! I really enjoy reading about experiences like this. Thank you!
Man, your videos are fantastic! I haven't subscribed to a channel in a while but you definitely earned my subscription. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
BG 44 brought me here. I am thinking of buying it and this is the video that came up. Good work!
Thank you for the feedback
Another great job ! I still say you need a clipboard and a white lab coat with pocket protector.
Keep up good work
LOL! I've got the glasses and the lab coat and clipboard would go nicely. Thanks

My grandfather was a machinist and welder. He always swore by Marvel Mystery Oil and I still use it to maintain equipment and vehicles for my landscape business (some of the machines are 30+ years old and still run great.)
Thanks for sharing.
I`m 74 and used to fly small airplanes. The old timers at airports always promoted MMO. Airplane engines are crude and sticky valves used to be common. MMO helps to keep the valves from sticking.
Awesome glad you tried my idea with the clear head your made. This was a satisfying watch for sure
Thank you!
Did you ever think when you recorded this you would still be making videos? Thank you for maintaining your integrity and providing this information for us all.
You are welcome!
Great video. Ive used 44k after the induction cleaning and all I can say is the entire treatment worked better than any of the other products I've used.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Would love to see a video on hot soaks, but with more PEA based cleaners like Techron, Gumout, Red Line. PEA levels are kept secret so it would be interesting to see actual performance of PEA cleaners, and effectiveness under different conditions. Maybe test their detergent ability at different temps when used in oil.
Thanks for the suggestion.
My understanding is BG has the highest PEA content on the market, with their newer platinum having an even higher PEA than the well known BG44k.
@@MBE-ib3jy who knows. non of them release the levels.. unless someone actually tests them by lab and compare we will never know
These vids are very interesting! Helps me greatly knowing which products out there actually work! Keep up the awesome work! Fan from down under. ;-)
Thank you! Will do!
I picked a can of this randomly up today because I felt like my engine just wasn't it's normal self and with a price tag like $27, it makes a good video to see someone else buy it and do a couple experiments on it!
Thanks for the feedback.
Test the E-3 sparkplug in the engine with the clear see through head !! See if it improves performance over a regular spark plug.
Thank you for this recommendation.
It won't. The spark will always take the path of least resistance, i.e. it will jump to one electrode, like normal, and that's it.
@@POOKIE5592 except it does. look up the test ProjectFarm did. the e3 and the Pulstar plugs ran a generator on a set amount of fuel for longer than NGK and NGK iridium. Problem is apparently e3 giant heads like to heat up and explode in engines so I wouldn't use it, Pulstars are a bit pricey for the ~2% fuel economy improvement.(45 min with NGK plug, 46.5min with the e3 and pulstar in the generator test). Keep in mind that the angle of the spark and a ton of other factors can make a difference to how completely the fuel combusts with various plugs. hell, just making the plug(i think its called indexing?) face the right direction in the motor can make a considerable difference due to the direction the 'explosion' travels.
E-3 spark plugs suck!!! Dont waste your time or money!!! The diamond fire arch will break!!!
E3 is junk. Never seen anything with them in it stay running for very long before you end up taking them out and putting OEM plugs back in whether it's a lawn mower or a car. You won't ever make a noticeable gain by changing spark plugs. The most important thing is to keep everything clean and do proper maintenance and use quality parts when you must replace something broken.
Thank you for finally using that Bg44k it's amazing in cars... been using it for years, it is expensive but works wonders on shitty California gas carbon build up. Thumbs up for this one. Always enjoy your videos maybe do a car test rather than power tools...
Thank you very much for the positive comment and thanks for the recommendation to test power tools.
I like GM Top Engine Cleaner best, cleans combustion chamber, if allowed to soak for 6 hours, will free up carbon stuck rings, have to use the Green cleaner, comes in a plastic measured bottle. Keep up with the great videos.
Digging this new video style for the "Cleaning comparison" type of videos.
Awesome! Thank you for the feedback!
It would be interesting to see if it would improve the spray pattern of old injectors or remove the varnish from a carb. People say it’s the best fuel system cleaner out there. I also think it would be a good idea to to run the entire can over a few days allowing the product to soak in the system.
Great suggestion! Thank you.
I've got a car with bad valve seals so it smokes on startup. Something to use that will reduce the smoking? Restore or condition the seals?
Have you tried using a "high mileage" oil? They contain conditioners that might help.
Try BG RF7 or BG MOA. Both are oil additives. I've used them with great success.
Did you see how clean that valve was??
Use a high mileage oil to expand the gaskets/seals. If you replace the seals, switch back to normal oil.
@@bgphilippines8318 Which valve?
After watching so many of your videos I realize that I really just need to do your power drill starter mod, it’s the best. I like watching all these additives and how they perform but that’s the thing I’m the most intrigued by.
Thank you very much for the positive comment. I really like the power drill mod too!
Love your channel
But
Which one is better?
I've used bg44k fuel injector cleaner. I got amazing results, like the throttle became more responsive, and felt the car got faster. The rpm went higher compared to before using the bg44k.
I highly recommend it but the price is a bit too much.
Thanks for sharing
If you have an accurate, sensitive, tachometer, and the R's go up, that is about the best indicator the additive worked.. When you get nothing gained at all, in any so called friction reducer product, you got scammed in IMHO... 90 % of this stuff is just greatly artistic written claims, 10% of these, actually does what it claims, and even more sometimes! Project Farm is a Ray of Sunshine in a cloudy world that's only getting cloudier!
As some point, would you do a review on Techron, supposedly, was invented by the same person who created BG44K
Thanks for this recommendation.
As usual, excellent work, every one of these vids exceeds my expectations.
Thank you
Full/fuel system cleaner vs injector cleaner? High milage cleaners? Full tune up gumout cleaner vs. Regular gumout?
Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for the suggestions and thanks for the positive comment regarding the videos!
Thanks again for the excellent test. I have used all 3 in my motorcycles and cars and with my seat-of-the-pants, BG44k wasn't as good as everybody claimed it was. I went back to use Seafoam.
Thanks for commenting on this!
You make very informative videos for the DIY guys. Love these comparison videos. I'd like to see you do a video on the BG Dynamic Engine cleaner and rinse kit for your truck. It's an expensive cleaner and flush kit but hence it might be why there aren't very many videos on it.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you for your demonstration. As a former teacher, I can heartily say you'd make a great one!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I'd be interested in seeing some tests between various manual transmission oils.
Thank you for this recommendation.
Mix all three additives and run the engine like
Thank you for this recommendation!
Logan Holbrook yeah bro
Booooom hahaha jk
Logan Holbrook yes that will be the best ideoa
Ruben. Could not agree more. Unless you are a chemist, never mix things that could go boom.
You should bring this video back. Your tests have gotten much more sophisticated.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Alot of people haven't heard of bg. I'm talking to my uncle about a good product for his daughter's cvt trans and I told him bg. He said what's that? That is a problem. Everyone should know about bg. We have a bg guy named Eric. Great product. Spread the word. I shared this video to him.
From what I could see, I didn't think it helped at all! Both before and after photos looked the same! Again thanks for your testing, I've learned a bunch from it and have learned what not to buy and what I should used!
You're welcome!
BG used to put plastic coins inside the can: the idea (and it worked) was to get the mechanic to upsell the product/service to the customer thereby allowing the mechanic to retrieve the coin from the empty container so that it could be turned in for small perks. Their products always seemed to be of the highest quality so no one ever felt like they were pushing snake-oil.
I don't recall seeing a coin inside the can, but I'll check. Thanks for commenting.
@@ProjectFarm They don't have them anymore. The techs used to get "spiffs" from the BG rep for those plastic "coins" inside the can. If you had an old can that had one in it, you would have heard it rattling in there.
@@SealofPerfection
I've heard that they put this plastic coin to prove that the product is safe and doesn't hurt plastic/ rubber
@@bobomomo3764 all I know is our techs used to collect them and then turn them into the BG rep to get their money
@Richard Cranium Yep, seen a bunch of that, too.
Just thought I'd share a comment since this video has helped me with preventive maintenance with my 2021 Trail Boss Lt. Cheers from Ft Benning sir! Thanks for your craft, intellectual capacity and helping people even some Army guys hahaha thank you again!
You are welcome! Thanks for your service!
Keep up the great testing!! Prefer project farm over all others that ive watched!! Thank u for all ur doing for us!! Have u tried paint thinner for carbon build up? Something along those lines?
Thank you very much! I haven't tested paint thinner as a cleaner yet. I did use it as a fuel replacement, but I didn't "hot soak" the engine as I did in some videos.
I use BG Supercharge in ALL my engines big and small. EXCELLENT STUFF!!
Thank you for this recommendation!
@@ProjectFarm yes agreed!
BG 44K was designed to clean olefins off the back of the intake valve to allow better heat transfer for proper fuel atomization in fuel injected engines. It also cleans the injectors for better spray pattern. It usually takes a day or so for better soak time. Using it in a carbureted engine is a waste of good product.
Bell chemical makes a product that was marketed as combustion chamber cleaner and sold to dealerships as top end cleaner. It was ammonia based and contained 70% water that you sprayed directly into the carb. That was a fantastic product.
Thanks for providing this information.
I really like that your very consistent with testing and results! ***One question, or request... Have you made a comparison with gear oils? Manual Trans and differential types, more specifically. Thank you for all that you do! 👍
Not yet. Thank you for the video idea!
You definitely have to look at Amsoil PI vs Redline SI-1, and Kreen. Love the videos! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the recommendation!
How about some physical alterations, for instance: adding more sparkplugs or making a controllable turbo to power through more dense areas of brush/wet grass?
Thank you for this recommendation!
Project Farm
More spark plugs might be interesting.
In aircraft engines , they have 2 per cylinder with separate magnetos.
On a test run, you set the revs to 2000 and turn off a mag and the revs drop about 100 rpms.
Turn them both back on and it comes back to 2000.
So yea, that might be interesting.
Dethadder I love you for thinking of ways to hot rod an old lawnmower!
with comparisons like this, could you also show results from the competitors from your previous videos along side with what you are testing? just makes it easier to compare all these different brands.
Thank you for this recommendation!
Thank you for all your effort ya....keep up the good work...
Thanks, will do!
Nice. I like the new way you do the intro!
Thank you!
Hi, I don't know if someone else say this before, but can you run an engine only with brake cleaner instead of gas? greatings from Germany 👍 nice videos
Greetings! Yes, i will put together a video using brake cleaner. Thank you for this recommendation!
Project Farm
nice, I will wait for it. thank you for this fast answer👍
Project Farm sounds exiting
i dont think hydraulic fluid will combust like a fuel. could make an excellent engine cleaner.
I second brake cleaner always was told it washes cylinder walls
I've run BG44K as a fuel additive a number of times - it's the only one I trust to run in my car. When it was first introduced to me back in 2009 by an old mechanic, it was spun as sort of a "Super Techron", and that it would help clear out carbon buildup over the tank of gas. I paid $30 for the can of BG44k, which I thought would be snake oil, but I figured, meh, I have nothing to lose. It was absolutely fantastic, actually. After 100 miles, the car was running much more smoothly, felt like it has regained 20-40 lost horsepower (out of 350 that were supposed to be there). Power felt more linear, improved power delivery, everything. After 250 miles, I didn't notice any further improvement. Even so, I've gotten into the habit of using BG44K every 50,000 miles... I love the stuff. And it's the only stuff I trust to put into my Mercedes E55 AMG... I wouldn't dream of Seafoaming an AMG...
This is impressive! My video was a single test and results vary. It did clean the engine. Thanks for commenting.
I was floored at how good it was. I did not expect it to be nearly as useful as it seemed to be. And mind you, my story is just a single isolated use case, and it followed the instructions to the letter - one can into a full 20 gallon tank... Thank you for reviewing and posting this... Please keep these videos coming! Really appreciate all the effort you put into them... it really shows :-)
TitaniumCountess
I also believe in bg products I run the injector cleaner at every oil change they also have a diesel treatment that works well on large engines I know some trucking companies that swear by it as it saves them lots of money on not having neer as many overheads to run
TitaniumCountess do you change your oil after using bg44k?
I've never bothered with changing it. I run 10,000 mile oil change intervals in my AMG using fully synthetic Mobil 1 0w-40, and I've done that with a prior AMG and this car now for a combined 300,000 miles now... I think there's no ill effect without the oil change.
I really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
I'd like to see you compare oscillating tools, that should be very interesting, and get a lot of play on your channel. You always do a good unbiased job.
Thank you for the video idea!
Bg 44k is a fuel injector cleaner. Its meant to clean injectors not the combustion chamber. I believe bg has another product called epr that is meant for combustion chamber cleaning. I like your videos but this one missed the mark on what this product is intended for. I would have liked to see what 44k did for a fuel injector with a bad spray pattern or if it stabilized fuel or helped with water in fuel. Or test Bg EPR against sea foam on combustion chamber cleaning.
As soon as he showed the before and after of the combustion chamber I was like...."but that's not what this is used for" I'm glad somebody realized this besides just me.
BG 44K has always claimed to be a combustion chamber cleaner, among other things it does for the fuel system. The key is what is not listed in the MSDS, which historically has been polyether amine (fuel detergent)
44K is for the combustion chamber, and any where it can reach. If it stays active in the exhaust it will clean the Cat. This test is wrong, it needs to be under heat and pressure. We have been using 44K, ( now platinum ) for 35 years. The Poly ether Amine is so much more concentrated in this product, no else can touch it. The EPR is an oil product. It works from the Piston rings down only. The magic of it is restoring the rings to normal ,lowering blowby, raising compressing, and making the fuel control matrix better. I have before and after on real engines, not lwan mowers. This stuff is amazing. Sea Foam, its OK.

Scotty says SeaFoam doesn't have PEA, so it won't clean like chemicals that do have it.
